Ardenwoods is a retirement community in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Arden, NC. Our 48-acre campus offers the privacy and beauty of a mountain resort with easy access to all the shopping, dining, arts and cultural attractions of Asheville. It's the best of both worlds filled with life-enriching opportunities, friendly faces and the joy of connecting with people who share your love of life.
Life is good at Ardenwoods. Every day is an opportunity to enhance your quality of life. Whether that means working towards a fitness goal in the gym or pool. Walking the trails on our campus. Joining an art class, singing in the choir or meeting friends for Friday social hour before sitting down to a chef-prepared dinner. You design your days and do what makes you happy. We'll take care of everything else.
